Guest blogger # 1 - Andy Washington

Andy Washington, sales director at Cosmos, emails with some observations:

"Delayed flight, lost baggage, and lots of sunburnt faces from the golf - sounds just like a usual conference! The flight over was abuzz with industry colleagues 'networking' or catching up since the last conference.

"Then off to the welcome party - an impressive setting and the usual local hosptiality and entertainment. Although we slightly confused when the dancers waded through the water in their clothes.

"The fireworks brought the welcome party to an end but as the remains of the fireworks rained down on the spectators the important question was raised, "if I am injured by the fireworks, who is the principal?". Sorry I had to get the subject in somewhere!

"Finally down to the bar, and that's where today's blog ends. What goes in the bar stays in the bar!"
